About Command & Conquer: Red Alert

Travel to an alternate universe where dark experiments have permanently altered time. Or have they? Soviet tanks crush city after city while Allied cruisers shell bases. Spies lurk, landmines await, and strange new technologies aid both sides in the struggle for ultimate control. In this parallel reality, the mighty Soviet Empire has begun to “liberate” all of Europe. Cities fall and countries collapse before the overwhelming might of the Red Storm. The Allies are scrambling to meet the onslaught, but they have been caught by surprise. Red Alert puts the fate of the world in your hands!

Solo jugué unas partidas sueltas hace poco, pero para ese ratito me sobró para entender por qué sigue aquí.

I played this with my roommate on rainy weekends, back when we compared it constantly to Homeworld 2 for the fleet stuff, totally different beast though.

Comparado con Starcraft me parece más accesible al principio, aunque en torneos serios no sé si aguantaría igual...

Les unités ont un charme certain je trouve, la musique aussi d'ailleurs, mais l'IA ennemie fait vraiment pitié une fois qu'on connait les ficelles du jeu

On y jouait chez mon oncle, à tour de rôle, sans trop comprendre les unités.

Ça résume bien pourquoi le classement le garde si haut malgré les critiques techniques récurrentes.
